Judges 20:43-48

431They surrounded Benjamin, pursued them without rest and trod them down opposite Gibeah toward the 2east.

44Thus 18,000 men of Benjamin fell; all these were valiant warriors.

453The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of 4Rimmon, but they 5caught 5,000 of them on the highways and overtook them 6at Gidom and 7killed 2,000 of them.

46So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25,000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors.

47But 600 men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon four months.

48The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.
